Professional statement

Arthur Bilbrey, LMFT combines cutting-edge, evidence-based trauma therapy with deep spiritual insight to support transformational healing. He works with adults and teens who are ready to move beyond symptom relief and reconnect with clarity, presence, and peace. His specialties include anxiety, trauma, complex PTSD (CPTSD), and guiding those seeking spiritual transformation and a deeper connection with their true being.

Master Certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II (CCTP-II), Arthur is also trained in Brainspotting, EMDR, ACT, CBT, and IFS-informed and DBT-informed approaches. While he does not offer full IFS or DBT protocols, he integrates key elements—such as parts work, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance—to support emotional balance and deepen self-understanding. His approach blends experiential trauma therapies with timeless contemplative insight, supporting healing that is not only emotional but also spiritual and somatic. This integration allows clients to access lasting transformation rooted in their own inner wisdom.

He has extensive experience working with trauma survivors, veterans, teens, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people from diverse cultural and spiritual backgrounds. Sessions are affirming, client-led, and focused on helping each person access the inner resources they already hold.

Remote therapy is offered across California, with availability from late morning through evening hours.


Message to clients

You might be feeling anxious, disconnected, or weighed down by the past—even if life on the outside looks “fine.” You may have tried therapy before and still feel like something’s missing. If that resonates, you’re not alone. I help people heal from trauma and painful experiences by guiding them back to the quiet strength and clarity within.

Our work isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about real transformation.

I use experiential approaches like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Brainspotting to gently help the nervous system process trauma. These methods often reach deeper than talk therapy alone. I also integrate mindfulness and contemplative practices to support insight, emotional regulation, and reconnection with your authentic self—the part of you untouched by even your most painful moments.

If you're ready to explore healing through powerful trauma therapies and your own inner wisdom, I welcome you to reach out.

Therapist's note

My fee is $250 per 50-minute session.

However, with out-of-network benefits, you could end up paying as little as $40 per session—or even less, depending on your plan.

I offer Thrizer to simplify the reimbursement process. With Thrizer, you only pay your out-of-network copay up front, and they handle the rest—submitting claims, tracking reimbursement, and eliminating the need for superbills entirely.

If you prefer, I can also provide monthly superbills for you to submit on your own. Some clients explore Reimbursify or Zencare’s out-of-network tools as well.

If you’re unsure how out-of-network benefits work, I’m happy to walk you through it during a free 15-minute consultation. This kind of care might be more accessible than you think.
